Staples for classroom dissection.

• Stainless steel construction
• Screw lock or standard attachment

Scalpels are used in many different ways, but for classroom dissection handles for disposable blades are the most popular option. Most instructors use with a #3 or #4 sized handle. The handle shape is the same, but utilize different sized blades. Normally handles have a slide lock, which hold the blade in place using a spring action. This kind of lock can be difficult for students to remove safely. Screw lock handles only accommodate blades that would be used on #4 handles, but can be easier to remove as they are held in place by a small screw.
